The Unsatisfied is a punk rock band from Chattanooga, TN, renowned for their high-powered stage shows, provocative compositions, and charismatic band members. Founded in 1986 by frontman Eric Scealf and backed by lead guitarist Johnny Stockman, rhythm guitarist Wayne Shadwick, bassist Seth David, & newest member, drummer Matt Reynolds, the band has a long, notorious history that remains on an upward trajectory. The Unsatisfied began in the Southern underground music scene and quickly achieved greater acclaim through the punk culture of New York/New Rock and CBGB's, and cutting their teeth on tours with their idols. Through perseverance and sacrifice, their raw talent also made them stars of the award-winning documentary Ambition Withdraw: Redux, which spans their work from inception to infamy. Their heavy sound and Avant-garde style have cultivated a large and dedicated following they affectionately refer to as their "Tribe," stretching across the U.S., Australia, and the U.K.
The Unsatisfied have created a cinematic sound that is powerful, articulate, and addictive. Labeled icons of southern gothic punk rock by press notables such as Punk Globe, CNN, and Joe Bob Briggs, their music has transcended the anticipated sound of their predecessors while upholding the rock 'n roll anti-establishment, free-willing, rebel spirit expected of the punk and hard rock genres, hybridizing them into something that is both threatening and enlightening. Like a street fight set to music, their live shows supercharge their patrons by infusing raw fury and sexuality into a high-energy experience you can dance, headbang, slam, or fistfight to!
Let their music do the talking - check these southern legends out live whenever and wherever possible for the full experience! All welcome!

"While the band may be synonymous with the punk scene, their sound is more complex than that, running the gamut from punk to glam to prog rock to, in their words, “weird.” "
Marc Michael ~The Pulse
"That is the most original Salute To Troops we've ever had!" Robin Meade ~CNN's Headline News
"The Unsatisfied; raw, high energy, rock & roll meets dangerous, punk rock, with precision. The Unsatisfied are a certified genuine American punk act straight from the south. They’ve played with many legends; their big rock energy & wild spectacle onstage feels like being hit by a rock and roll lighting bolt!"
Pete ~Pete's Rock News & Views
"Ambition Withdraw: Redux is a remastered, re-edited, re-release of a long-forgotten rockumentary that features one of the most talented, tightest punk rock bands I’ve ever heard called The Unsatisfied. I'll save you the spoiler, but the movie doesn’t end like you would expect. I will say that the band lives up to its name and will still likely become your favorite punk rock band for life. This quirky, amazing, disturbing little film definitely belongs on the midnight movie circuit. See it if you can. It’s currently making the film festival rounds but you can watch it now via Amazon Prime." Jamison Ashley~BleedingFool.com
